AT
LEAST BELIEVE IN THE WORK
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “If I am not doing my
Father’s work, there is no need to believe in me; but if I am doing it, then even
if you refuse to believe in me, at least believe in the work I do; then you
will know …” (John 10:31-42)
Reflection. The Romans withdrew the
right of the Jewish leaders to execute anyone. But it seems the Jews could
still get away with stoning someone for adultery or blasphemy. The atmosphere
around Jesus is now charged with threats towards him but he continues to almost
plead with the Jews to believe ‘at least in the work.’ It is a last ditch
appeal to them before it is too late. He had no wish to die but the gathering clouds
were now so thick it was becoming impossible to find a way out, though John
tells us – not for the first time – that ‘there were many who believed in him.
Prayer. Lord, may we accompany you on
this journey where you enter the final struggle with the powers of darkness!
May we embrace the cross in our hearts and in our lives! Amen.
